I use my ipod so I never lose my music whenever I reformat.Also do u have a DVd burner.Thats 4.7gb each disc or 8gb wit DL .

I remember back before I knew how to partriton my HDD I had to burn all my files onto like 20 blank disks before I reformated.

Now I can just move files to one partrition then reformat the other. You should do the same.

Can't really do that when one is 80 one is 30 :/.

you can just plug your ipod into the usb port, and open it up as a removable- drive, in xp that is. then you can just click and drag the files

if you put music on an ipod then reformat and plug it back into a computer doesnt it delete evererything.
